Abstract

Finding proper investment strategies in futures market has been a hot issue to everyone involved in major financial markets around the world. However, it is a very difficult problem because of intrinsic unpredictability of the market. What makes things more complicated is the advent of real-time trading due to recent striking advancement of electronic communication technology. The real-time data imposes many difficult tasks to futures market analyst since it provides too much information to be analyzed for an instant. Thus it is inevitable for an analyst to resort to a rule-based trading system for making profits, which is usually done by the help of diverse technical indicators. In this study, we propose using rough set to develop an efficient real-time rule-based trading system (RRTS). In fact, we propose a procedure for building RRTS which is based on rough set analysis of technical indicators. We examine its profitability through an empirical study.
